    Does anyone go on nightly Slug/Snail hunts? I've taken to making twice nightly walks of the garden snipping slugs in half with scissors and stepping on anything with a shell... I had tried collecting them in bags and then taking them down the beech to feed to the seagulls but I think they were getting too fat :snork:

          I found a slug in my bath the other morning (must have come in via the open window) so I zapped it with Cillit Bang :paladin:

          You should be afraid ... they can easily find there way back into your garden from there! :snorky:

          They've got to go through their garden first as the bin is the other side of their far fence in the alleyway :heehee:
